New shrink wrap lines improves speed and reliability for vitamin company

Yorkshire Packaging Systems shrink wrap line

A new shrink-wrapping line is said to have improved reliability and processing speed for British-based vitamin producers BR Pharmaceutical.

With an existing line previously supplied by Yorkshire Packaging Systems (YPS) working ‘exceptionally well’ in another area of its operation, BR Pharmaceutical discussed its needs for this process with the YPS team. The line was dedicated to packaging small bottles of vitamins and BR required a reliable solution that fits with the company’s commitment to equipping its operation with ‘modern, high-quality’ processes.

The YPS team recommended and installed a Minipack side feed sleeve wrapper with 500mm sealing jaw. The installation moved the packaging of this line from a semi-automatic to fully-automatic operation.

“Having used YPS’ equipment before, we’re confident of how robust and reliable this new shrink wrapping line will be,” said Ziad Abu Sheikha, MD of BR Pharmaceuticals. “The YPS team have really demonstrated their expertise in finding us a solution that perfectly handles the products we are producing and preparing for shipment across the world.”
